Anybody else unironically starting to miss monarchy? At least, back in the day, when a small elite held the vast majority of wealth and power there was a certain expectation of using it well. There was, in theory, a certain amount of accountability the ruling class had, a certain obligation they had to the rest of humanity. And, in theory, they were all accountable to the Church, or to whatever religious class existed in the various nations of the world. Now we have all these rich people who are accountable to no one but themselves. Jeff Bezos is richer, more powerful, and influences the lives of more people than Louis XIV ever did, but unlike Louis he never has to face the consequences of his actions.

Yeah, kind of. There needs to be a sovereign capable of reigning in the market and its excesses. Democracy is de facto rule by the market and it is gay and retarded.

No. I don't want to take orders from a king any more than I want to lick the boots of a rich man. I want to trample both into the dust.

You got the billionaires precisely because you cut the heads off the kings. Your kind destroyed the old aristocracy, but collectivist utopia isn't what arose when they were gone. Instead, what arose was... well, what we have right now.

There will never be a workers' paradise. There will never be a mass democratic utopia. There will never be one great unity of people working together, with no one ruling above the others. "Imagine" is a stupid song. We tried it your way in the 19th century and things are arguably worse than ever. We're not falling for your gobbledygook a second time.

Communism, although I'm not a communist. It all depends on what you're content with, really. Like the quote in the OP says: if you let yourself be dominated you are not worthy of emancipation. I, for one, will not be content until I rule the world.

You realize they had “billionaires” in the Ancien Regime too? They were called aristocrats and archbishops, and in many cases they didn’t pay taxes at all.

The government of the future is Chinese style fascism, i.e. interwoven Party and State structures with strong control over private economic actors.

i'd be up for a type of serfdom where i'm issued 4-6 hours of daily work that guarantees my subsistence so that i can spend the remaining hours doing whatever it is i like, be it reading or playing music or writing or whatever.

like if someone said "all right anon, you're the baker every day from 8am to 2pm but after that, you can do whatever you want." i dont even need to choose what the job is, maybe they can legitimize the job i'm being issued by some sort of "god said this is to be your job" or "the state and big brother's researchers, in their infinite wisdom concluded this should be your job," that way i wouldn't necessarily have to attach my identity with my labor role in society and instead on what interests i pursue out of passion.
